Our definitive guide to Chicago’s BEST TAKEOUT

When it comes to delivery food in town, the options are, well, overwhelming. More than 3,000 restaurants deliver throughout the Chicago area via Grubhub alone, to say nothing of those accessible by using Caviar, DoorDash, and half a dozen other ordering services. But it’s hard to know who’s going to bring you a perfectly intact spicy tuna roll and who’s going to show up with smushed fish and gloppy rice. Rest easy, because we found 43 places that met two key criteria: 1) their food is great, and 2) they get it to you in top condition.
